My pride is injured because someone can paint portraits on a human hair and I can't? I doubt it. There's something sideshow freakish about these supersmall paintings. I think that's what makes me uneasy. Even queasy.

Thanks Althouse, for posting this treat in art. I had seen some of this sort of art before, and really liked it.

We are seeing more art moving past traditional physical boundaries. And traditional storage media. We are by now familiar with artists that do mega "theme" art, those that do impermanent works with gas and flame.

Electronics and digital technology has opened up new areas of virtual art - which can be reproduced, even recreated (with minor or major command changes) with a click of a mouse. We can create a whole artist's conception city in 3-D right down to moving people and vehicles, and put it all in a tiny memory device.
